RENOVATED IN MARCH 2024

Dog friendly. Majestic vistas of the Intracoastal Waterway! Swims in the canal, kayaking, fishing from the boat dock! The location provides painless access for ocean-bound or waterway fishing trips including day trips to island beaches close by. The beach is a short 10-min. walk. A huge beach cart is included with room for a cooler and beach chairs.

When you arrive...
- The prevalent "change-over" day occurred the day before. It is much easier (traffic) to get here.
- How much would you appreciate linens and towels being supplied? Including resort-quality BEACH towels? Not only are the linens included, but the BEDS ARE MADE TOO!
- You discover that all of the basic supplies you will need for your stay are outfitted and waiting. Even the spice cabinet is loaded up for your use. Maybe you do not need to go to the store after arrival.
- You have 2 fridges. The downstairs refrigerator is turned down for cold drink storage and has an ice maker. The upstairs refrigerator also has an ice maker and is the place for food storage.
- Since you are arriving on Sunday, not the prevalent "change-over" day, the landing shouldn't be as busy when you go to put your boat in the water. I also suggest loading the boat back on the trailer 11 am and 2 PM on Saturday to avoid the peak time the landing is used.

The front and back decks have been modernized with cabled railings. There are gathering places on both decks but mainly on the back deck. The back deck has been redesigned to provide more usable space. on the back deck, there is a patio table with seating for 8 people. There is also a picnic table that provides ample seating for 6 people. And there are rockers for people like me who just savor sitting out and watching the boat traffic on the canal and intra-coastal waterway.

The kitchen has been completely refreshed with new cabinets and countertops. More storage space was added.

The vanities in both bathrooms have been updated.

The old windows have been replaced with "peaceful" and hurricane-rated windows.

Substantial living area, 4 bedrooms / 2 baths upstairs / 2 bedrooms / 1 bath downstairs. Sleeps, 13 people. Decks on the front and the canal side of the home upstairs. It also includes a patio and outdoor shower downstairs.

A floating dock at the end of the walkway provides convenient docking space, flounder fishing, or a platform for swims in the canal.

A washer, dryer, AND an additional refrigerator/freezer with an ice maker are supplied downstairs in the storage room.

There is no need to go anywhere else (by land) after arrival. The patio downstairs includes all of the cooking tools needed (grilles, 2-eye gas burner, etc.) to prepare your own feasts.

Ample parking for 6 cars.

NOTE: There is a $100 Administrative Fee (per booking) added to the price for renting our bungalow. If you report to the owner (by e-mail, text, or phone call) that you DID NOT bring family pets, the $100 administrative fee will be refunded to you after your stay.

Rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to book a Southport rental & When to go:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing yourvacation home:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Dog Friendly! Non-Smoking. Cottage w\/Dock and Deep Water Access on Natural Canal has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If not, call the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is best for your vacation.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
